[Q] Nils' Business Gingersense 3.0 V2.3 - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been running Nils' V2.2 ROM for several days now, and here's my observations (I'd have made these in the dev thread, but I'm still < 10 posts):
Initially, lots of force closes, but this settled down after a day or so. Occasional hot reboots hung on for another day, but stopped when I installed Tiny's kernel, enabled smartass, and enabled fast-boot. Now, I get an occasional FC on "System App", particularly when I'm playing with configurations, but other than the popup, I see no other side effects. Applications on the SD card are easily lost, and pretty difficult to get back to the SD. When I reinstall and try to move it to the SD again, I get failures once or twice, then it moves. Other than this, I find it a little more laggy than is really ideal. I did eventually overclock the high end, but this only improved the lag a little.
Other mods I installed are the black lock ring, the Rosie 5X4 app drawer, and WildStang83s Bunker Buster DTR.
So, that said, it's a really sexy ROM, and I can't wait to see what comes with V2.3.
First question, will flashing V2.3 wipe out the DTR mod? I'm assuming it will.
Next, if the DTR is wiped, can I flash the same one, or will V2.3 have changed enough that a new DTR is needed?
Thanks a bunch!
Lou

I have run a variant of the GingerSense ROM's for a month, haven't had any of the issues you raised.
Are you restoring anything to the ROM? Particularly system data along with an app?
Assume the appropriate HBOOT, cwm, and minimum radio are in place as well as ample room on the sd card?
Also assume complete wipes of data, caches, system, factory reset, boot, etc?

smtom gave you your answer. If you are getting FC's or any other strange behavior because something like the wrong hboot or residue from the prior ROM is still there.
Follow the instructions in my first post to clean the system out and reflash.

Thank you both for the suggestions.
When I flashed 2.3 over 2.2, I did clear the cache and Dalvik *before* taking the backup, just to be safe, and it does seem a fair bit snappier now. Still not quite the interface speed I was seeing with stock Sense 1.0, but pretty close, and it really is so much cooler ...
As far as restoring system data, the first time I tried V2.2 (the day it was released), I did make the mistake of restoring some of the system stuff - like Mail accounts - I might even have inadvertently restored the old Mail app itself, which was clearly a dumb thing to do. It was my first non-stock ROM, so I suppose it can be chalked up to Newbie mistakes. Anyway, that resulted in a lot of ugliness that was obviously not your ROM, and I knew it. I was a lot more careful not to do anything so dumb the next time around, but I did get some instability anyway. Maybe something got left behind, I don't know.
Now, I limit restores to user apps and only restore data for some of the more annoying apps to set up - 1Password, DropBox, SugarSync, Facebook, things like that - not GMail, Mail, or contacts. I manually re-enter all the mail accounts and sync contacts from Google.
Wouldn't it be nice if Google gave you the option to track your app installs (free apps too, not just the paid ones) and gave you a batch re-install button?
I probably pushed my luck a little by flashing the DTR before rebooting from the ROM flash, but so far no problems at all.
When I do see a small lag in the homescreens, it seems to hang on for a second or two, then the phone seems to get itself in gear and the home screens flip like nobody's business. I still haven't put Tiny's kernel back on though. I'll stick with the stock version for awhile at least.
I do have SetCPU installed, set to on-demand from 245MHz to 998MHz. I haven't set up any profiles though. I know they are a bad idea with Tiny's kernel, and probably no problem with the stock Gingersense kernel, but I wanted to see how it works with the default configuration for awhile.
I am also using the 2.15.00.07.28 radio. I tried the leaked 2.15.10.07.07 version, but didn't find any improvement, so I went back.
My HBoot is 0.92.
I still haven't put the Rosie 5X4 app drawer back in. I was wondering if there's a way to disable the "paging" scrolling behavior and enable the smooth scrolling that Sense 1.0 used?
Thank you both again.
Nils, this seems like mostly minor updates, but whatever happened, it's a lot more snappy and stable for me now.
Cheers!
Lou

Yee haw! Appbrain will track and batch reinstall applications, fwiw.

Can't set my contact card image
It seems every time I try to reflash, some other minor thing comes up. Up to now, I was always getting the image I had set for my profile on Google with my contact card, and in my Handcent conversations.
Now, not only is my image not there, but I can't set it. Seems I can't set *any* of the contact images. At least before, I could modify my Google contact in the Google web interface, but now I'm not sure that would work.
I've tried fixing permissions through CWM (5.0.2.0), and even tried manually changing permissions on /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts.files/* to 666 as detailed here for a similar issue.
Any ideas what could cause this, or how I could fix it?
Thanks (again) in advance

Texting is an ordeal any help?

On the newest modaco .. i find the htc_ime is really laggy when texting it makes it so difficult to text sometimes ! Does anyone know any fixes for this ? Even when ive used taskiller to kill all the other tasks it is still so slow. Please don't advise better keyboard i didn't find it helpful.
wipe & reflash
I tried that .. nothing .. epic fail... do you get decent texting speed?
i had this prob with many of the 2.1 roms, a pause between typing would be seen as a long press. making texting a real ordeal
i went back to modaco 3.1
all is good now
Yes, many 2.1 ROMs have this lag, but none of the MoDaCo ROMs .. they work perfectly!
I know it sounds stupid, but are you sure you'r using MoDaCo 3.1? I have never had any lag on the ROM at all. Even the keypad/keyboard. Where as that was laggy on stock 1.5 Sense and all of the 2.1 roms. But since i flashed MoDaCo all is good.
I am possitive i am using 3.1 ... i have always had this problem its been so laggy texting like ... if i write three words it will only be half way through the first word when im finished and il be waiting and generally when you rush it gets confused and starts changing your words to weird longer ones.
thanks for the thoughts thought but keep them coming! Come on
Im using modaco 3.1 and the only time mine ever gets laggy which is very rare is when my wifi is on. Otherwise texting runs like a dream or hero excuse the pun. I have read by turning the "vibrate when typing" off in the settings helps supposedly to speed it up a little. Otherwise i recommend like others before me, to do a full wipe and reflash also backup any important files you need to keep i.e nandroid etc that u have on the sd card and format it. Also wipe ext 2 or ext 3 if you are using it. As I had to after installing 3.1 as i found it a bit laggy in areas. Good luck.
completely removed ext partition remade it installed rom and still same lag... havent even put old stuff back on simcard..
Try this, install and use Advanced Task Killer there's a free version in android Market. Maybe you have an app that is hogging all your cpu just kill that app and try your texting. Although you shouldn't have since u wiped. Unless u installed any apps after that. If no joy hopefully one of the experienced devs could help you. Hope you get it sorted.
Tried taskiller aswell as that one damn..
You're not alone! I too suffer from obscene lag when texting at times (running MCR 3.1). I can type 6 or 7 words before the first is displayed and then watch them slowly appear. I also suffer from typing a word and it'll either be in all caps or the first few letters will be caps and the rest lower case. Oh and it can take forever and a day to actually open a message or flick between them with the widget.
I have two solutions when this happens to me, first off is reboot the phone, that quite often solves the issue, at least for a while. The second solution is to delete some messages. It seems the more messages you have, the slower the messaging app reacts. I deleted just over 1400 messages this morning and seem to have gone back up to full speed.
One other thing to note, if you are receiving / have just received or are sending / just sent a message, the app will be quite slow, or at least it is for me.
Florida.
tried deleting all the messages etc i think its the HTC_IME itself and not the messages... anyone know anything about that?
i encountered typing to be a little laggy, found that the phone is low on resources. something is running at background causing the usage to be 99% but i can't find any apps doing that (btw, im using smart monitor). typing also lag in ak notepad
when i go online, everything seems back normal. it seems that the phone is running some update or trying to... after going online, the lag is gone
the lag will happen again after every phone reboot
Any developers know anything ?

[Q] Problems with SyndicateROM Frozen

Hi all,
I recently installed SyndicateRom Frozen after I got stuck on Eb13 thanks to Sprint. It worked out really well (so fast!) for a while but I am now having problems varying from strange but tolerable to very bad.
Here is the exact order of what I've done:
1) from eb13, I used odin to get DI18, then modem only to EC05, installed CWM3 and wiped data/cache/dalvik cache 3x each.
2) I used CWM3 to flash SyndicateRom Frozen (the latest version)
3) it worked pretty well, but then I (stupidly I guess) installed Go Launcher Ex and then everything went to hell
4) it ran for a while then suddenly EVERYTHING force closed. restarting it just gave me 9000 more force close boxes. so I...
5) wiped data/cache/dalvik 3x, re-flashed syndicateROM
So here I am now with the following problems:
1) The phone randomly freezes irreversibly (only solution is to pull the battery). It seems like it happens in the browser only (stock Syndicate browser)
2) The phone randomly freezes for a little while only (all the time)
3) The email app force closed (fixed this for now by clearing its data, from forum)
4) With auto-rotate OFF, nothing rotates EXCEPT my phone page.. What the heck? The phone page (ie click the phone icon) rotates regardless of what setting auto-rotate is on
5) The phone sometimes just decides to restart itself. And rarely, the restart never finishes.
6) Whenever I open up google navigation, it says "checking navigation availability" for 5-10 seconds. This never happened before
Now, what do I have running?
-SetCpu (this was running before I had go launcher and I had no problems). it's set very modestly -- 200-400 with screen off (and I dont have the no-wakeup problems some people talk about) and 400-10000 with the screen on, on demand.
-Ultimate Juice
If anyone knows what I can do to fix this, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.
Thanks for the detailed post - it helps. Your issues, though, are almost definitely kernel-related. Freezing is a sign you need to use kernel version 1.0.4 linked from the second post, or VisionKernel. Try VisionKernel first. If it solves your issue, you're good to go.
Anything related to screen rotation is outside of the ROM - run the sensor calibration process.

Thanks for your support!
im having similar problems, but mine only occur when the battery dies
after i restart a lot of my apps are force closing without even running them, and when i press the home button the screen is blank. (i also use go launcher)
You kno this same thing happened to me. I finally realized it was probably because I was restoring my apps with titanium. I decided to just re-download my apps and restore only app data with titanium (angry birds etc.). This helped me. And this was all after installing launcher pro. So there was some sort of conflict there. Are you restoring apps?

i didnt restore my apps with titanium that time but i switched from go launcher to launcher pro and i dont have that problem anymore
Hmm...i guess just stay away from that launcher then...haha.

I'm not sure if his problems were strictly Go Launcher related. I've been using Go for 2 days now, with no problems (yet... knock on wood).
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
So here's an update:
-No, I'm not using Titanium backup.. I manually reinstall all my apps.
-I tried out the VisionKernel and it seemed ok for a bit, but I'm freezing again and my apps are all force closing. I uninstalled SetCpu completely in case that was causing a problem, but it didn't make a difference.
I'm going to try using v1.04 next... if that fails I guess I just can't use this rom
Would setting myself back to DI18 -> EC05 -> Syndicate possibly work? (as opposed to just re-flashing syndicate)
This was happening to me regardless of my kernel, and I even (twice) ODIN'd to [DI18?] then OTA to EC05 and then wiped everything 3 times, and flashed, 1st flash never works for me, so 2 flashes both times completely clean as well as when flashing kernels
1.0.2 worked just fine for me but as soon as 1.1.0 came I get freezes and FC's all over the place. I have given up on 1.1.0 and will try it when a newer version comes out
Media
First off want to say, love the ROM so far, you guys rock. After a few failed attempts at getting CWM 3 on my phone, I was finally able to do so and get everything installed. The only problem I'm having is with my media files. I get random FC when I play my music, my photo gallery doesn't appear, when I try to access my mp3's directly from my SD card, it says "file type not found" and it does not like the Zedge app at all. I've tried both the standard and fully loaded versions with the same results. I have the visionkernel downloaded, just in case I need to try it, but if at all possible, I'd like to stick with the twilight (I use the camcorder often). Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Yea, did basically the same thing last night. It went fine for a day, but it went to hell again tonight. Oh well, we'll have to wait for a new version I guess.

As noted many times in many places, if you're having issues with 1.1.0 that aren't freezing/battery life (these are both the kernel and have been discussed everywhere), a few simple troubleshooting steps will get you exactly where you need to be.

My issue is freezing, and I tried all of the alternate kernels. Sorry if my language wasn't precise- I mean new kernels.
I've actually given it one last try...I'm wondering if the clock is set too low for my phone by default, so I've got setcpu on min400 max1000. I'll let ya'll know how it turns out... (Stable so far although suddenly my home key doesn't work, hah.)

400mhz shouldn't be necessary. If your freezes were wakelocks, and you had your minimum frequency at 100mhz, that was your problem - not all devices can handle it, and need to be at 200mhz.

They were actually freezes during use-- I luckily never got a single wakelock.
I'm not sure if there was a pattern or not, but I think the Market, Go SMS Pro, stock Email, and stock browser were the main freezes. Then again, those are also the apps I use quite frequently
Sorry to double reply, but I can't edit yet.
@androikid
It just occurred to me that the freezes wouldn't be that bad if not for the force closes that occur afterward (due to data corruption). Maybe we should just turn journaling on so the a freeze just means a restart, rather than a re-flash.

Phone runs like garbage....

Hey guys, i don't know if I can really do more research and use the search button more than I have so I'm now asking.
My phone runs like complete crap.
Before I "upgraded" to 2.2 it ran fine. Fast, screens were smooth, aps loaded quickly, and no crashes ever.
Now that I'm on 2.2, which i have been since the launch, I have random aps force close, all, the, time. One day it'll be TWLauncher, the next, rhapsody, the next, internet browser, etc. I'm literally not exaggerating at all. I close aps using "Program Monitor" that came with the phone. I've looked at and used other ap killers but there's no difference in what shut down. The one that came with the phone dose the same so I've tested those waters. I saw something about using titanium to "freeze" aps but I'm still unsure as to what that is. I'm rooted, saw no difference, have galaxytuner to OC when I play a game or two. i have only galaxy tuner about 7/8 times. I have startup auditor and shut down EVERYTHING it would allow. My battery life has sucked the more the performance went down. I do work in a low reception area so I go into airplane %50 of the day, by my choice. In airplane mode i would still see MAYBE 10 hours on my phone, wtf is running? I bought Juice Defender and love it, it increased battery life by 1.98 to 2.44 depending.
I'm a computer tech, don't know much about linux, reading all i can, but there's so much and I'm so far behind it's confusing. I'm open to suggestions and willing to try anything.
New rom
yes, I'll go to a different rom if that's what the consensus says but I love swype and samsung's layout. Can i keep that... somehow?
also. Since i got into 2.2 the browser BLOWS. Just sucks so bad. I haven't pin pointed when this happens, but sometimes on a large page when I'm zoomed in and I scroll it makes everything TINY and scrolls that, then goes back into my zoom or it just makes the page the background HTML color while I'm scrolling so i have no idea what I'm looking at. wtf is that? some setting i haven't found?
Ok, well i hope this is enough info. I'm posting this in XDA and Android Forums to maximize my coverage. thank you for reading and I apologize in advance if I sounded like an idiot.
Samsung epic 4g, SPH d700
firmware version 2.2.1
kernel 2.6.32.9
froyo.ec05
hardware version d700.0.5
3.5ah battery
Ok that's a lot of stuff. But yes maybe a stock ROM with root and throw Genocide 1.0 kernel on it will really speed things up. After rooting you will want to wipe data and Dalvik cache to clear up some of the issues you have developed.
Quick option would be factory data reset to clear out everything and then add a little at a time to see when these errors start. Also make sure you don't pull the battery without waiting for the vibration.
Do you BONSAI?
how do I do the genocide thing? I really do have a lot of aps installed, 5 pages worth. Most are small though, should this affect my phones performance? i purchased MyBackup Pro.
Corection. i have 7 pages. I can part with most of that ****, because it is... newegg, autozone etc... Now, I heard that I can get all my paid aps back just by syncing with the ap store IF i restore?
Well first off thanks for posting in the right area. Secondly I am not a guru around here but my approach when I run into performance issues is to wipe and start from scratch.
If you play a lot of games and wish to keep your progress, I would root with the One Click Root 2.5. Then install titanium backup. Only backup apps you wish to keep your progress in (Angry Birds etc). Titanium Backup instructions are available on YouTube
If you dont care about your backing up apps to save progress just skip this step.
Then goto the ACS Sydicate Frozen Thread and follow the installation instructions inside. They have the most stable optimized (battery and speed) ROM IMO that should fix your issues.

Good, backup everything just in case. Yes your paid apps are synced to your gmail so you will be able to redownload them for free. Most apps will appear back in your download list.
The first thing you will need to do is root your phone. Start here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=770388
Then go here to get the Genocide kernel:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961614
Download it and copy it to your phone's sd card.
And then you will go into Clockwork (boot holding camera, volume down and power buttons) pick "install zip file from sd card" (volume buttons scroll and camera button chooses) then "choose zip file from sd card" scroll through your sd card until you find the file you downloaded and put on your sd card and scroll to it again and hit camera button and away you go.
After you get all that done and all is well read through the overclocking section and start with 1.2Ghz and see how that works.
I'm already rooted, backing up everything as we speak.
Now Do i really want to overclock? my phone ran fine before 2.2, how do I get back to that state of speed?
Can you recommend a rom?
I'm going to factory restore. dumb question, but will i have to root again?
I am not sure what stock stuff you are using or if you are ready for changing your file system, but the ROMs here tend to remove some of the stock apps or widgets that are considered bloatware. I would start with just a kernel for now and then think about a ROM when you are more familiar with the process.

Yes, if you do a factory reset you will need to reroot. The Syndicate Frozen fully loaded mentioned in a previous post would have most of the sprint apps like Touchwiz and a fast kernel. But read up on EXT4 and Clockwork Mod 3.0.0.6 before jumpinng in.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=976194
and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897612
The new kernel alone without overclocking will already speed up your system. Also download Spare Parts and set all all animations to FAST and that will make it seem much faster too.
Im trying to factory reset but if i chose the menu way, nothing happens. It warns me, restarts, and nothing has changed. I can't even do it with the buttons. I hold volume down, hit hit the power button and it boots normally. Wtf?

[Q] CM7 eventually just starts showing black screens instead of most things. Why?

This problem only really happens after my phone has been on for days at a time. I have had this problem on the latest stable and latest nightly for CM7 (each one cleanly installed after a total wipe).
What happens is that most screens are replaced with entirely black ones. The most consistent example of this is the settings screen. The first Settings screen (which shows Display, Sound, etc) loads correctly. If I click on any of those, I just get a black screen. This will happen in other applications too, like Baconreader or Browser. Also, another connected issue is that the lockscreen won't animate once this problem starts. I can drag it down to unlock, but the rotary wheel won't move at all. If I drag to the right to load my custom app, the lockscreen won't go away and it will force my to pull the battery.
Has anyone else run into this problem? I'd just like to know I'm not alone. I'm not really expecting a bugfix, especially when I'm not even posting a Logcat.
Did you fix permissions?

Next time it happens I will, I'm just afraid it will break Facebook/SMS integration like I've had happen before.
It's just so weird since it breaks everything. The lockscreen, the options, Pandora's station list, the browser, and it goes on and on. It's like there's some sort of display mode that gets screwed up.

What version are you using. I'm going to try to install nightly 77 today after a fresh wipe.
I was seeing the same thing. Now I'm trying to figure out why my data speeds are so painfully slow on CM7 so I can't offer a fix. Flashing back to Warm to troubleshoot 3G.
I get these issues all the time no matter what kernel or nightly I'm running. It has forced me back to sense roms lol
Same problem here. I updated stable mod from stable mod. Reinstalled. Going on 4 days, no issues so far.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I have the same exact issue. This never happens on a sense rom. I did some tweaks to my system over the past week and I haven't had to reboot since this past Saturday or Sunday. I thought I had fixed it!
Then...
My phone started doing it this morning after I turned on 4G at work, literally as I was writing this post it started doing it. I then turned off 4G.. and it instantly went away. Turning back on 4G and it isnt doing it right now. Now my phone is doing something weird with go sms pro... when I get a text and I respond via the pop up message.. once my text moves to a second line I dont see what I am typing anymore... and now it has progressed to where the pop up box isnt refreshing after I send a message (this is all happening while I am typing this post). Now the phone has become laggy and somewhat unstable... rebooted! All is well. So I went roughly 4-5 days without a reboot... where as before I had to reboot at least once a day.
Thats about the best I can get with these settings:
CM7 7.0.3.1

This is after several full wipes, several when I was running Amon RA recovery 1.8 then updated to the latest and did it two more times. After upgrading Amon and wiping I did not use any backups and started completely from scratch.
So I am not sure what else to do. Some people are getting this, some are not.

[Q] Maps/Navigation force closing on custom ROM/Kernel - HELP Please!

Hi all,
Hopefully someone can shed some light on this and help a tortured soul. By no means am I an Android expert, but I definitely am not a noob. I had an S2 in the past and done plenty of flashing there, and now own a Bell SGH-I747M S3... my precious...
First off I tried a whole bunch of different ROMs, of all flavors (AOSP, AOKP, CM10, PARANOID, and some TW), and a lot of them are awesome. However, I found that after having done so much flashing and customizing using other people's work, it was now time for me and attempt to make my own ROM. I feel I now have the knowledge to do so. Don't get me wrong, I am far from a Dev, and I don't do much coding at all. I found this great suite called Android Kitchen, which pretty much guides you through the steps for making your own ROM, and it's great for learning.
In the end, I was able to come up with a final working version of my own ROM, built from scratch using the original official Bell JB 4.1.1 update file. and I have to say I am quite proud of it, as it has all the apps, features and theming that I want, and works quite well I might add. I get great results performance and battery wise (for my taste and needs) when using my ROM with KToonsez kernel.
BUT!!... as good as I think the ROM is, it is unfortunately not flawless. I do have an issue (the only one I could find so far after 2 weeks using it), and for me it is a BIG issue. Maps/Navigation does not seem to like the ROM/kernel combo on MY phone. I say MY phone because I have setup a friend with pretty much the same thing, and he is not experiencing the same issue.
Here is a description of the problem I get. Let's say I go to my contacts and select one with an address. I will touch the address, then Maps opens no problem, and finds the place, and I also get fast GPS lock, no issues there either. Then I will select Navigate to get a voice turn by turn description while driving. The Nav app starts OK as well and seems to work fine. Then after a few minutes (sometimes 2 sometimes 10), Navigation will shutdown, and I get a pop-up saying "Unfortunately Maps has stopped working...". When I OK that, after a few seconds, Navigation starts talking to me again, although not on screen. Also a Navigation icon will appear in the notification area, and if I hit that it resumes Nav, as if nothing had happened. Another few minutes like that, and then I get the same message again, but this time it crashes for good. ALWAYS!!
Troubleshooting:
- Flashed the ROM/Kernel 3 times now. Always wiping and formatting ALL!
- Cleared cache and data from Android Settings/Applications
- Cleared cache from Maps settings.
- Re-installed Maps
- Wiped phone cache, dalvik cache and fixed permissions from recovery.
- Changed kernel back to stock (that seems to work fine btw,, but I do not want stock kernel, plus the setup I want works well on my friend's S3, same as mine, which I setup myself for him (he's a total noob)).
- Changed kernel again from stock to KToonsez (that also works fine after that, however I get other things that start not working well... too many).
- I always wipe cache, dalvik cache and fix permissions after changing kernels.
I have been poking at this for about a week now, and I am tired! I was hoping someone would have a suggestion, maybe from past experience. The only thing I can think of that is different on his phone and mine is the apps that we restore after installing the ROM and kernel (Titanium Backup, user apps and data only, nothing related to system is touched). I am guessing one of my apps could cause a conflict, but pardon my laziness, but I really do not feel like testing / installing my apps one by one to hopefully without guarantee find a culprit... way too many apps for that So I am testing my luck here on XDA... there are a lot of smart people here
I appologize for the lenghty post, but this way, there is less chance I left anything out... PLEASE HELP!!!
Raz...
Sorry for the bump guys... I was really hoping someone can give some input here. Desperate for a solution here!!
Thanks
